260g
218mm total length
46mm cutting edge
20mm wide
7.5mm thick where ura is
9.5mm thick body
10mm thick at end
Wide bevel angle around 35 degrees
Tomita in Miki, deceased chiselsmith and small knife. Biggest heaviest kiridashi I've seen. Feels like a coarse lump of iron.
Feels like white steel, iron has only extremely fine detail, steel is good woodworking tool steel HT
Iron with a hole in it from hardware on an old traditional building, unknown date probably Meiji or something like that. Feels more like a woodworking shiv than a regular kiridashi. Angle is too high in my opinion
No makers mark so I can't verify anything, but that's how I got it. It has rust on the edge and ura that I sharpened through, and I had to tap the iron to fill a low spot on the ura.
Very tip isn't completely polished since I wasn't patient enough to go super slow pull strokes. . . It would gogue out the stone. Place before the cutting edge area is slightly hollowed for extra grip for the fingers.
